Yes, but you need special cables and softward to do so. With the price of network cards (Wireless and Ethernet) it makes more sense to connect the computers directly via a peer-to-peer wireless network or a pc-to-pc RJ-45 cable.

Here are some links for the USB option. (This is an option because all you end up needing is the cable and software)

Answer 2

Yes - you need a special USB cable to do it properly and the software usually comes with it.

Answer 3

I would use a crossover cable, which is like cat5/6 but you connect one computer to another as described

Answer 4

I don't think this is doable. You should get a hub or router and connect each one to it via the network card and then you'll be able to transfer data.

Answer 5

No.

USB is not designed as a bus to carry data between two computers on it's own.

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

No. u need antoher cable. like LPT.
